Reasons given... Consider...

“I have an airbag” Airbags offer greater protection when

used with safety belts. Frontal airbags

are not designed to inflate in rear and

side crashes or rollovers.

“I’d rather be thrown clear” People who are ejected are 40

times more likely to DIE. Safety

belts help prevent ejection, WE CAN’T

“PICK OUR CRASH”.

WARNING: Do not sit on top of a buckled safety belt or insert a

latchplate into the buckle to avoid the Belt-Minder威 chime. To

do so may adversely affect the performance of the vehicle’s air bag

system

One-time disable

Any time the safety belt is buckled and then unbuckled during an

ignition on cycle, the Belt-Minder威 will be disabled for that ignition cycle

only.

Deactivating/activating the Belt-Minder姞 feature

Read Steps1-5thoroughly before proceeding with the

deactivation/activation programming procedure.

The Belt-Minder威 feature can be deactivated/activated by performing the

following procedure:

Before following the procedure, make sure that:

• the parking brake is set

• the gearshift is in P (Park)

• the ignition switch is in the off position

• all vehicle doors and the hood are closed

• the driver’s safety belt is unbuckled

• the parking lamps/headlamps are in the off position

WARNING: While the design allows you to deactivate your

Belt-Minder威, this system is designed to improve your chances of

being safely belted and surviving an accident. We recommend you

leave the Belt-Minder威 system activated for yourself and others who

may use the vehicle. To reduce the risk of injury, do not

deactivate/activate the Belt-Minder威 feature while driving the vehicle.
